DrupalCon Baltimore 2017: Using Machine Learning to Personalize Web Experiences

This talk explores the concept of personalizing web content experiences by leveraging subtle elements of a user's digital persona. The speaker introduces Deep-Feeling, a proof-of-concept project that utilizes machine learning techniques to enhance content recommendations beyond traditional models. By accessing a user's Instagram feed through the API, the project employs computer vision to detect themes in user preferences, leading to personalized travel experience suggestions based on shared content. The session emphasizes the transformative potential of deep learning for content recommendation and does not require prior knowledge of Drupal or machine learning. Attendees will learn how to implement machine learning to create more engaging user experiences and how emerging technologies can be applied to design challenges.
